View Full Version : Raq4 stopped logging (plus other logging questions)

I just installed Webalizer 2 from sourceforge. I ran it once to make sure it worked and it appears to work fine.

I come back today, and I am looking at my virtual site log files, and it appears that they stopped logging 2 days ago (according to the date), but shouldn't they continue to grow until they are deleted or rotated? My site does produce continuous traffic, but the log doesn't budge.

Also, we have log files in several areas:
1 for each virtual site (/home/sites/site1/logs, site2/logs, etc)
1 located at /home/log/httpd

My question is : I know the reason for the virtual sites, but what are the ones at /home/log/httpd for?

Anyone know how I can get them going again? (I have restarted apache - no luck)

Thanks Chicken.

Any ideas on why my log files are not 'logging'? That is they are not growing - the actual file itself (web.log) has not changed in any of my virtual sites. Some are 5kb others are 5,000kb - but they never change - no data is added to the file.

/home/log/httpd has log files that appear to be growing, but nothing in my virtual sites logs seem to be logging.

Ok, I figured it out. I made the TransferLog for all of the sites. This transferlog grows visually in real time. The other logs seem to only generate 1 time a day (or so).

So anyhow, I got it fixed.

Thanks!
